Delete objectClass from DN

[Kent]

OpenLDAP 2.4.16 on CentOS 5.3
Perl version 5.10.0 on Ubuntu

I Have this entry in LDAP:

dn: cn=00-1E-52-76-B4-8A,ou=Devices,ou=Network,dc=mbl,dc=edu
cn: 00-1E-52-76-B4-8A
userPassword:: <secret>
radiusExpiration: 2030123100:00:00
radiusCheckItem: 999993
radiusUserCategory: FIXED
description: Fred Mertz
macAddress: 00:1E:52:76:B4:8A
ipHostNumber: 128.128.164.100
objectClass: radiusprofile
objectClass: simpleSecurityObject
objectClass: device
objectClass: ieee802Device
objectClass: ipHost
radiusFilterId: Enterasys:version=1:policy=A-User

I want to delete the objectClass 'ipHost' and attribute
'ipHostNumber'. What is the perl code to do this? Everything I've read
is geared towards add/replace/delete attribute -> value but not
objectClass.

$mesg = $obj->modify($dn,
changes => [
delete => [ 'objectclass' => [ 'ipHost' ]],
]
);

Returns:
error 65 - The request specifies a change to an existing entry or the
addition of a new
entry that does not comply with the servers schema

Have you tried making sure to delete any attributes associated with
that object class first?

OK I finally got it, here is a summary of what I tried and what worked:

$mesg = $obj->modify($dn,
changes => [

delete => [ 'ipHostNumber','objectclass' => [ 'ipHost' ]]
]
);

17 - The request contains an undefined attribute type

$mesg = $obj->modify($dn,
changes => [

delete => [ 'ipHostNumber' ],

delete => [ 'objectclass' => [ 'ipHost' ]]

]
);

16 - The request referenced an attribute that does not exist

$mesg = $obj->modify($dn,
changes => [

delete => [ 'ipHostNumber' => [] ],

delete => [ 'objectclass' => [ 'ipHost' ]]

]
);

no error

$mesg = $obj->modify($dn,
changes => [

delete => [ 'ipHostNumber' => [] ,'objectclass' => [ 'ipHost' ] ],
]
);

no error

Thank you for all your help!
